[T3] pistons problem


Hi  listees.
        I have been building a budget 1641 for my square.  I picked up a set 
of lightly used (1,000 mi) 87 mm pistons and cylinders from a friend.  Upon 
installation I encountered a problem.
        Cylinders 3 + 4 installed fine with the script (on the crown)  
upright and the arrow pointing toward the flywheel.  Cylinders 1+2 on the 
other hand, would have the script upside down if I were to install them with 
the arrow pointing toward the flywheel.  There is some slight wear marks on 
the bottom  of the pistons which  indicate that this would be an improper 
installation, plus I imagine they would "slap" if the offset of the wristpin 
were upside down.  Apparently I have a mismatch set of pistons, and I haven't 
been able to contact the seller.
        My question is, is it OK if I install 1+2 rightside up with the arrow 
pointing the wrong way?  Any input would be more than helpful.  
                                            thank you,
                                            coolwhip
